Other work rules and retirement play a HUGE part in the overall compensation package as well.
My point is: It is not as cut and dry as you make it seem. Delta probably has a higher overall compensation than Frontier but it takes more than comparing a few years pay scales to figure that out. Same with Lynx and Republic. I'm sure the RAH guys make quite a bit more than the Lynx pilots overall.
